Answer:

The acceleration of the system is 1.401 m/s² and

The tension in the cord is 100.902 N

Explanation:

Let the 9 kg mass be m

Let the 12 kg mass be M

By Newton's second law of motion we have

For the 9 kg mass, T - mg = ma and for the 12 kg mass we have T - Mg = -Ma

Here we took the upward acceleration as positive a of the 9 kg mass and the downward acceleration of the 12 kg mass as -a

Solving for T for the 9 kg mass we have

T = mg + ma

Substituting the value of T in to the 12 kg mass equation, we have

mg + ma - Mg = -Ma or a = $(\frac{M-m}{M+m} )g$ therefore the acceleration is

1.401 m/s²

and the tension is T = mg + ma = 9×(9.81+1.401) = 100.902 N

Which of the following affects the rate constant of a reaction?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Arrhenius' equation relates the dependence of rate constant of a chemical reaction to the temperature. The equation below is the Arrhenius equation
$k = Ae ^{{ \frac{-Ea}{RT} } }$ where k is the rate constant, T is the absolute temperature. As the temperature of the system increases, the rate constant also increases and vice versa.

You are conducting an experiment inside a train car that may move along level rail tracks. A load is hung from the ceiling on a

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

b

c

e

h

Explanation:

Note that the swing direction was not giving in the question and direction could be sideways (in a turn) or in a track or both

The question show something in common ...acceleration

So let's look at the statements and pick the correct ones

a is false while b is correct as the train is accelerating

c is correct. The train is accelerating even thou the speed could not be ascertained

d is false and not feasible as the train is accelerating

e is true as the train maybe moving at a constant speed in a circle

f is false. This could be constant velocity in a circle. Same as g (false)

h is true. It's accelerating

A proton (mass=1.67x10^-27 kg, charge= 1.60x10^-19 C) moves from point A to point under the influence of an electrostatic force

Tom [10]

Answer:

$VB - VA = - 33.4$

Explanation:

Generally the workdone in moving the proton is mathematically represented as

$W = KE_f - KE_i$

Where $KE_i \ and \ KE_f \ are\ the\ initial \ and \ final \ kinetic \ energy$

So

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m v_a^2$

Here $v_a$ is the velocity at A with value 50 m/s

So

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 50^2$

$KE_i = 2.09 *10^{-24} \ J$

Also

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2$

Here $v_a$ is the velocity at A with value $80 km/s = 80000 m/s$

=> $KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 80000^2$

=> $KE_f = 5.34 *10^{-18} \ J$

So

$W = 5.34 *10^{-18} - 2.09 *10^{-24}$

$W = 5.34 *10^{-18} m/s$

Now this workdone is also mathematically represented as

$W = q * V$

So

$q * V = 5.34 *10^{-18}$

Here $q = 1.60*10^{-19} C$

So

$V = \frac{5.34 *10^{-18} }{1.60*10^{-19}}$

$V = 33.4 \ V$

Generally proton movement is in the direction of the electric field it means that $VA>VB$

So

$VB - VA = - 33.4$
